Our Mission
At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, our mission is to empower individuals to develop a deeper connection with God and build lasting relationships within the community. We believe that through faith and shared values, we can inspire positive change and create a more compassionate world for everyone.
The Foundation of Our Belief
Our beliefs are rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Bible, and the rich traditions of Christianity. We strive to follow the principles of love, forgiveness, compassion, and service, as exemplified by Jesus' life and ministry.
Christ's Love and Salvation
Central to our belief is the understanding that God's love is unconditional and that through Jesus Christ, salvation and eternal life are offered to all who accept and believe. We believe that Jesus' sacrificial death and resurrection serve as the cornerstone of our faith, providing hope, redemption, and the promise of forgiveness.
The Authority of the Bible
As a community of believers, we hold the Bible as the inspired Word of God and the ultimate authority for our faith and conduct. We believe in studying the Scriptures, gaining wisdom, and applying its teachings to our lives, so we may grow in spiritual depth and understanding.
The Trinity
In line with mainstream Christian theology, we affirm our belief in the Holy Trinity - God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. We recognize their distinct roles and interconnectedness, celebrating the divinity and unity of the three persons.
The Power of Prayer
Prayer is an essential part of our spiritual journey, offering a means of connecting with God, seeking guidance, and finding solace. We believe in the transformative power of prayer and encourage regular communion with God through individual and collective prayer.
